K-Swiss Women's Express Light Pickleball Shoes

91Universal Acclaim

The K-Swiss Women's Express Light Pickleball Shoes receive overwhelmingly positive reviews for their lightweight design, comfort right out of the box, and excellent lateral support for pickleball movements. Most reviewers praise the wide toe box, true-to-size fit, and durability, with many purchasing multiple pairs. However, a notable minority of users report ankle irritation from the higher collar design and rough eyelets, with some experiencing blisters or bleeding around the ankle bones.

no good colors: I want to buy these but the colors are bad. Even the gray looks dingy. A friend has the gray. They look like she has been wearing them for 10 years. Come on Kswiss and aasics for that matter, improve the colors.

Inconsistent Sizing: I've been wearing exactly the same style of KSwiss shoes for almost 5 years now, always the same size, in different colors. This is the first time the sizing has varied. I've always been able to use a thin liner (to soak up some sweat), and the size was perfect with the liner. I tried doing that with these shoes. First of all, it was difficult to get the liner in, and second, the shoes were too tight with the liner. I really don't understand, given how consistent the si

Shoes had defects: I ended up having 3 pairs shipped to me. Two pairs had defects involving the material on the knit material on the front of the shoes. The third pair had a seam that was not covered by stitching. I own a pair in another color with no defects.

Kswiss women's pickleball shoes: I played competitive team tennis and played several times per week for years and was happy with the comfort and wear of Nike and Adidas shoes. Since Kswiss promoted a pickleball specific shoe I chose to try them. While comfortable to wear, I am extremely unimpressd with how quickly the tread wore down. I wore them only for pickleball once a week and tread was quite worn down in under a year. Purchased when visiting from overseas so didn't pursue warranty.

Pickleball shoe: The shoe is true to size and fits well. For some reason the laces are quite long and nearly touch the ground when tied. The shoe is a bit stiff but will probably loosen with wear. Has good cushion.

Kswiss pickle ball shoes: I tried the shoes in my home & they seemed ok. Wore them for 2 hours playing pickleball & the left shoe wore off the skin & my ankle was swollen. I tried to return but I wore them so I couldn’t return. I’m not happy with the shoes. I still can’t wear them because I have a bad scab.

K-Swiss Espress Light pickleball shoe for women: I find the shoe a bit on the stiff side. It is an attractive shoe and I love the mesh. My reason for 3 stars is that the sides of the shoes are two high and rub my ankle bones. It might be a problem just for my shape of foot but it is a bit uncomfortable. I am hoping as they "soften up" that this problem will go away or at least be less of an issue.

Defective pickleball shoe: I loved this shoe because the toe box was wide enough for my feet, unlike most shoes. Unfortunately, after playing pickleball with this shoe, the inside ankle of my right foot suffered an abrasion. Since everything else about the shoe was perfect, I thought I could address this problem by covering the area with moleskin. Despite using the thickest moleskin on the abraded spot, the abrasion only got worse. After carefully feeling the spot on my right shoe that rubs aga

can't remove insoles: I love the tennis version of these shoes and thought I would like the pickleball version since the shoes are a few ounces lighter. However, the insole is not removable (at least not without ripping out the glue that attaches it), so I was not able to insert my own custom orthotics. (Insole is fully removeable in the tennis version of the shoes.) Had to send these back, unfortunately.

K-Swiss Express Light Pickleball Shoe in Black Iris: Great Shoe, very comfortable, lightweight and great stability. My regular shoe size was a perfect fit. I have played on inside courts and outside courts wearing this shoe and would highly recommend it. In the past, if I played multiple days in a week, I has some discomfort on the outside of my left foot, but not with the K-Swiss! The design of the shoe gives more support when moving sideways- especially when leaning more for a backhand sho

Kswiss court shoes: I have only one complaint. The tongue is too short. I need the additional lacewing holes at the top to keep the heal from sliding. (I find this true with every brand) so far K Swiss has provided the best fit. Yesterday after wearing the shoes for hours I found the lace tied across the top to f my foot because the tongue is too short. Please, please, please fix this. All court shoes have been this way but until this pair of KSwiss I have not had trouble with this brand. Lov
